I haven't created any new art due to a tragic death in my family. However, I feel the need to transform my anguish into something positive so I'll be drawing this week and posting new pieces. It won't be anything fancy, just plain old sketchbook paper, but I'd like to share it with the few people who stop by.
A friend asked me if I was afraid somebody would steal my ideas since I post up my artwork. I replied that even if somebody would do that, the difference is I can keep producing new original art and the copycat can't. Plus, it's kind of an honor to be copied, in an illegal, copy-right infringement kind of way. It means I've done something worth stealing, and that's not easy to achieve.
So my goal for next week, aside from studying for my Arabic 1A and British literature classes, is to create something worth posting.
I like to create art not just because I feel an unstoppable urge to produce art, but also because I can adorn the walls of my room with my own work instead of shelling out hundreds of dollars for a Jackson Pollock print. I can surround myself with beautiful creations without paying lots of money. This is especially good since I'm broke and waiting on next semester to start so I can get my grant money to buy new canvas and yes! real oils!
